Final Project: Fear of Walking Alone
This report explores gender differences in fear of walking alone at night using data from the General Social Survey (GSS). Through descriptive statistics and hypothesis testing, I found that while overall fear levels haven’t significantly changed from 1973 to 2021, women consistently report higher fear than men. I used R for all analysis and visualizations and concluded with a discussion on how society can address safety concerns more effectively.

Midterm Project: Anchoring Effect and Nelson Mandela’s Age
This analysis investigated the anchoring effect by asking students to guess Nelson Mandela’s age at death after being shown either a low or high “anchor” value. Using randomized assignment and statistical tests, we found that students shown the high anchor provided significantly higher guesses. This project allowed me to communicate cognitive bias results through both visuals and statistical arguments using tidyverse in R.

Infographic: Fear of Walking Alone by Gender
Using GSS data, this graphic shows the persistent gender gap in safety perceptions when walking alone at night. While the overall rates of fear have stayed relatively stable over time, women consistently report much higher levels of fear than men. I designed this infographic to raise awareness of a long-standing social issue and support evidence-based advocacy.
